Spread of Hog Cholera.
Western A gricuitrist.

1t has been mystery to many how the
disease known as hog cholera could spread
so rapidly from one neighborhood to an
other. Farmers who pay careful atten.
tion to the sanitary condition of their
swine are not exempt from this disease,
and 1t has been impossible to satisfacter-
lily explain the sudden appearance of So
called hog cholera in herds of swine ap-
parently healthy.
gentlemen writing the State Depart
ment of Agriculture advances theroy
that the disease is spread over the coun-
try by the crows and other carron eatirg
birds. 1t is we'll known that swine viii
eat the flesh of hogs that have died with
disease, and tbs statement of Mr.. Ed
wards, the writer of the following letter
is worthy of some consideration. He
writes as follows:
"A FARMER of my acquaintance, In this
locality, informed me, yesterday, that
while picking corn at home. few DAYS
ago, ne found three fragments of swine
flesh IN his corn field on the ground. One
fragment was about the size of A mans
thumb; the other two pieces were smaller.
The appearance of the three fragments
indicated that they had been torn, not
cut, from the carcass of hog.
"Now, as hog cholera prevails to an
alarming extent in this neighborhoed.
and crows abound in this locality, and the
said farmer noticed crows, in their flight.
crossing and recrossing over his field,
during the day he found the fragments of
flesh, he is quite confident that these
pieces of fresh swine flesh were dropped
by the crows.
sit would seem from the above that it
is very important that all hogs dying
from disease should be bura ed or buried
immediately, in order to prevent the dis

DAT MEAL GEMS.

Take crp of cat meal and soak it
over night in one cup of water: in the
morning add one cup of flour, little
salt, they are baked in irons as other
gems and mullins; if on first trial you
find them mois6 and sticky, add little
more -four, as some flour thickens more
than others. Or use sweet milk and
baking powder.

ease from being carried from one farm
to another by crows and other fesh-eat
ing birds"
The foregoing statement would seem
to demonstrate that it is possible, and
highly probable, that the dread scourge
of hog cholera is frequently carried from
place to place by birds of prey.

Draining the Barn Yard.
philadelphia. Record

To drain the barn-yard is to allow of
the escape of large portion OF the liquid
manure, and also of the soluble portions
of solids, as the rains and melting SHOWS
carry off everything that can be dis
solved. Yet, though there will necesar-
lily be loss from draining the barn-yar
it can not be be denied that in the ma
iority of cases the barn-yardS are usually
wet and in an unfit condition for stock
To avoid such difficulty different kinds of
absorbent materials are used; but there
is nothing that will prevent the loss of
valuable liquids. The water containing
soluble matter must either flow off or
render the barn yard uncomfortable.
As the barn-yard is used as an outdoor
resort for all kinds of stock it is the most
convenient place for the manure heap,
and not only the droppings are added to
it, but cornstalks, dirt, straw and the rak
ings of the farm, the object being not
only to decompose the rough material,
but also to absorb the liquids from the
droppings. As the rich black pools and
streams of the barn-yard contain the very
Essence" of the heap, with also all its
filth, to allow it to drain off is to permit
the real wealth of the farm to pass away,
while to allow it to remain is to injure
ton changed during the dry season, for
every shower, with the heat of the sun,
causes rapid decomposition, and the air
is saturated with escaping volatile matter.
The draining of the barn-yard has at
tracted the attention of many scientific
agriculturists who have differed somewhat
in the methods proposed; but they are
agreed on one point, however, which is
that in the center of every barn-yard
there should be large, water-tight els
tern, covered, over which the material
should be placed in order to permit of
the iiqu ids being stored instead of being
allowed to flow off. This permits of
pumping the liquids over any additional
dry material that may be added, and has
the advantage of enabling the farmer to
hasten or retard decomposition either by
saturating the heap or allowing it to re-
main dry. The richer the liquids in the
vat or cistern the sooner heat can be gen.
Grated In the heap when the materials are
moistened, and if the heap is covered over
with boards or an open shed it will be pro-
tected from the solar rays.
The great aim of every farmer should
be to so decompose his manure as to get
it into the finest possible condition, as it
will then not only bs more easily handled
and spread upon the land, but will also be
more available and immediate as plant
food. The more complete the decompo-
sition the greater the solubility of the
manure, and this is an important matter
which should never be overlooked.

Dead Passengers.

A New York World reporter over
heard the following conversation in a
Broadway passenger agents office:
No, sir, there are no half-rate tick
cts for corpses. A corpse of any age
requires one full first-class limited
ticket. and no baggage can be checked
upon that ticket, nor can any stop
over check be issued upon it. The
corpse must be accompanied by at
least one adult person. 1t can only
be carried in the baggage car, and in
addition to being properly boxed it
must be accompanied by a certificate
of the attending physician, to the eff
feet that the deceased did not die of any
contagious disease, and across the
coupon ticket must be written instead
of deceased's signature the word
"corpse." That is the law upon every
railroad in the United States.

BASE BALL.
Chicago Champions Defeat the
Detroit Nine.


CHICAGO, August 13.-All of the
runs made by both sides in to-day's
struggle between the leaders in the
championship race were earned, but
the Detroit sluggers as usual could not
find John Clarkson to any great ex-
tent, and as consequence they made
but two runs, while the Chicagos
banged the ball for eight. Clarkson
did great work all round and made
two home runs. Score, Chicago s,
Detroit 2.
PHILADELPHIA vs.. WASHINGTON.
PHILADELPHIA, August l3.-Bufling-
ton and Whitney did good work in
the box to-day. In the first inning
singles by Fogarty and Burlington and
double by Mulvey gave the Phillies
two runs, and Mulvey's double and
Buffington's single gave another in
the fourth. Woods single, two
passed balls and Fogarty's hit brought
in run in the seventh, and in the
ninth Wood made a home-run on n
hit over the fence. The visitors made
their only runs in the second inning.
Score-Philadelphia, 5; Washing
ton, 2.
BOSTON VS.. NEW YORK.
Boston, August 13.-The home club
was greeted enthusiastically to-day
after their disastrous Western trip.
They played with vim and determine
tion, and the game with New York
was short, sharp and decisive. Sulli-
vans umpiring was extremely dis
pleasing to both players and audience.
Score-Boston 4, New York 2.
G. AND NJ. VS.. HAvERLY.
SAN Francisco, August 13.-The
Greenhood and Morans had little
trouble in defeating the Haverlys this
afternoon, and victory was the result
of superior work at the bat. Neegan
was hit hard, but the loss of the game
should not altogether be attributed to
his weakness in the box. If he had
been supported properly the game
would have been much more exciting
and interesting. The score was II to3.
INDIANAPOLIS VS.. PITTsBURG.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 13.-Shom-
berg's wild throwing and general
bad playing ON first base lost the game
for the home team to-day. Healy
pitched great game and was most
admirably supporty until after Shom-
berg's errors had taken the spirit of
the home players in the sixth inning.
Score: indianapolis 1, Pittsburg 6.
